Second Croatian Glovo Express Store Opens Doors in Zagreb

October the 18th, 2022 - The second Croatian Glovo Express store has opened its doors here in the City of Zagreb, more precisely on Zagrebacka cesta.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Glovo, one of the world's leading applications for the delivery of multiple categories of products, including food from a very wide variety of restaurants, has opened a second Croatian Glovo Express store in the heart of the capital city.

This means that more than 2,500 different products from different categories are now available to customers from the western part of the City of Zagreb within the Glovo application, such as: fruit and vegetables, drinks, dairy products, snacks, sweets, personal hygiene products, home cleaning products, while the product range is listed exclusively in the Glovo application itself.

The first Croatian Glovo Express store was opened back in November 2021 on Zagreb's Radnicka cesta and, according to representatives of Glovo, it has been an exceptional success so far. The two stores in the City of Zagreb are strategically positioned to ensure optimal coverage of the Croatian capital, and users also have the option of personal pickup should they do wish.

"The launch of another Croatian Glovo Express store and the transition to a new, higher level of on-demand delivery is a key moment in time for us, but also a positive impact on the level of interest of our users. This is just a continuation of our focus on listening to our customers' needs and providing ultra-fast delivery for a wide range of products. Thanks to our well-organised in-store operations, our team will prepare a customer's order in less than three minutes and deliver it to their doorstep in less than thirty minutes. With this second store, Glovo Express' delivery area will cover more than 80 percent of the City of Zagreb, which is a guarantee ofthe  quality and timely delivery of products to our customers," said Drago Cota, general director of Glovo Hrvatska/Croatia.

The working hours of the new Croatian Glovo Express store are from Monday to Sunday from 09:00 to 00:00 and as stated by Glovo, the plan is to further expand the network and assortment in accordance with consumer needs as we go forward.

Glovo Takes to Split, Also Plans for Expansion to Other Cities

After Wolt finally arrived in Split, so did Glovo...

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Darko Bicak writes on the 30th of September, 2019, the main delivery service from the popular Glovo is now available in the City of Split, as has been learned from the company's headquarters in Zagreb.

In a mere six months, this delivery service has become very popular in the capital, where thousands of residents order food through Glovo, and in addition, the service performs a wide variety of micro-deliveries, from items from the store and the pharmacy to forgotten keys or simple package deliveries.

Teo Širola, General Manager for Glovo Croatia, explained that they have about 500 more or less permanent employees for delivery in Zagreb, while in Split, the estimate is that they will need 200 people or so when the business develops and starts gaining the same level of popularity it has in Zagreb.

"As most of our contractors do this job as a job on the side, the numbers and the structure fluctuates alongside the schoo/academic year. Many of our workers are students who can't work during their exam periods, but we manage to cover all workforce requirements because we don't depend on just a single group of workers,'' Teo explained.

Teo adds that they plan to expand the number of employees delivering for Glovo in Zagreb, where their oldest supplier is 72 years old, and in addition, after Split, they plan to expand and become present in all major cities in Croatia by the end of the year.

Glovo's arrival to Split was initially planned for mid-September, but as Širola explains, due to optimisation of the number of suppliers, they decided to postpone their entrance by around ten days.

"In record time, Glovo will ''create'' fresh croissants or juices, deliver urgently needed business documentation, cycle through the city to deliver a bouquet of flowers for an anniversary, birthday, or reconciliation to the door of loved ones.

There are definitely more serious situations, too, such as the delivery of medicines we can't do without or ''crisis'' situations like celebrations when all the drinks and food are gone, that goes for anything, even when the condoms are gone,'' they explain from Glovo with a smile. The popular deliver platform that has more than three million users worldwide today.

It has more than 10,000 partners globally and a network of some 30,000. Glovo was launched in Barcelona, Spain back in 2015 and is present in more than 100 cities in 22 countries today.
